probably but he most certainly wasn't wrong in his fear of revisionist takeover.
The Death of Stalin (movie)
Christopher Murphy
Daniel Lopez
In the movie you see crowds of people weeping and deeply upset over his death. You see the Soviet Bureaucracy (Beria and NKVD) preventing the people from going to his funeral. The movie could be interpreted about how Bureaucratization killed the USSR.
Brandon Sanchez
incredibly entertaining, i say that as a Stalinist apologist
Brandon Russell
I thought it was pretty funny.
Luke Lee
You clearly didn't know me and my suicidal gf when we were 13
Jack Carter
Except that it presents it as if they were mindless cultists, in other words saying "anyone who liked Stalin was a mindless, ignorant sheep"
Christopher Miller
Death of Stalin was based on a French graphic novel by Fabian Nury. It is catagorized under historical fiction. I think it was disingenuous to portray the film as historically accurate. My lumpen brother thought that It was scene for scene accurate. I had to explain that it is viewed through the lens of the humourless neoliberal french. Who, within the same period, had labour camps more horrific than any in the USSR. Who had been completely invaded by the Nazis. Even with their front in the war being backed up by the other allied forces. Whereas the reds stormed Berlin. Although, I didnt detect any overt bitterness these cultural hangups can last forever. Take Orwell and his experience with sectarian differences, see Asimov review of 1984:

Additionally, the directors niche is slap stick faulty goverments. For this pickle slicer everything is a pickle.
The layers of absurdity in the film muddy the waters of what was intentionally comedic. Especially considrring that a lot of the humour was histoically inaccurate. And yet it was still not very funny. If a comedian is going to take liberties to forego the truth to tell a funnier joke, that is one thing. However if a comedian just makes things up and the jokes are not funny then something has gone very wrong.
Robert Hughes
Yes
Literally no evidence for any conspiracy to kill stalin / Overthrow the goverment exists asides from the forced confessions
Daniel Reed
There was something going, but it didn't justify a purge of that size. Do you think the Trots' endgame was just calling Stalin bad?
Christopher Cooper
I'm using this film as source material in history class. The kids love it. They are now based and redpilled.
